Turkey Mince. Lean, mean, clean.

I love chilli. Hearty and happy, it’s one of those meals that everyone (and I mean everyone, veggies look over here at my vegetable chilli) enjoys eating. We have chilli most weeks in our house – it’s a great weekday meal as usually it’ll do a few meals – and usually tastes better the second day!

Replacing beef mince with turkey knocks down the calorie and fat content, turkey is a great meat to eat as it’s lean and bursting with protein – a great post workout dinner! Eat with a carb of your choice – brown rice, quinoa, sweet potato, cous cous…

Serves 8. Approx. 280 calories per serving of chilli (+ your carbs!)

300g tomatoes, chopped roughly

400g chopped tomatoes

200ml water

1 white onion, sliced thinly

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 red chilli, chopped thinly

2 tsp cayenne

3 tsp oregano

In a large lidded pan, slowly fry the onion on a medium/high heat till it goes translucent (about 5 minutes)

Add the turkey mince, and fry till it is sealed through. Drain off any excess fat/oil.
